VI PREFACE. 



And to the equipment of the estate, also, attention 

 is directed in several of the concluding chapters. 

 The Roads, the Fences, the Water-supply, and the 

 Homestead, thus all come under review ; and there 

 is a concluding discussion of the Landlord's Capital, 

 as it may be called, which is invested in the 

 * necessary equipment of his property before the best 

 can be made of the natural and inherent capabilities 

 of the land. 



Mr. W. Burness has contributed the Chapter and 

 Appendix on Agricultural Implements ; and the 

 chapters relating to Estate Equipment have been 

 for the most part written by Mr. Gilbert Murray. 



The reader will find that further details, costs, 

 specifications, and data for calculations with refer- 

 ence to many of these subjects, are given in an 



Appendix.
